Diesel decline - premature?

Good point about not buying new cars so often. I think the same should apply to most objects. No reason a fridge shouldn't last a lifetime or at least 25 years. Most things you buy now are just crap so that they fail just after the warranty period meaning you have to buy a new one. I agree, it does...

Diesel decline - premature?

Who knows what to believe nowadays, unless one is willing to spend a lot of time on proper research and educating oneself in different technologies to make an educated decision which car to buy. We already have at least three types of alternative propulsion, pure electrics and then two types of hybr...

Connect data usage

You need a data connection, either by using your phone's data via a WiFi connection or by putting a SIM card in the slot if you want to use the Connect + apps (mostly not very interesting) or, IMO more importantly, Real Time Traffic Information and Google to find destinations. These two make make t...

Re: Connect data usage

Thanks Semerka - that's more in line with my understanding. I won't be streaming music either. I also had an email this morning from Vodafone offering to sell me what looks like a tracking service? It is good for spying on your spouse when they are driving your Macan without you in it as you can se...

Re: Connect data usage

I have just finished the registration process for Connect - is the 7GB data allowance a monthly allowance? This should answer your original question: :lol: Data Package (7 GB) Contract term: to Every journey in your Porsche is a thrilling experience. It's even better when you have the right soundtr...

Connect data usage

As I now understand it (I might be wrong though), you only need to buy an extra data only sim card for your Macan if you wish to stream music, update maps or use the car as a wifi hotspot for your passengers. And for those you can hot spot your car to your mobile, if you have sufficient data package...
